Hi Debian!
I found out something that was of interest:
I run mplayer from a script in the early morning as a cron job.
It start a script that forks and runs execve mplayer to record KUSC for 3 hours.
Then 3 hours later I start another cron job that kills the former.
My problem (small one) was that since there is no shell, where is the output?
Gues what: it gets sent to root! I found out /var/mail/mail was getting huge (by running mondoarchive who tried to slice it).
In mail I find the output of the mplayer run. It is huge, filled with his inane % buffer filled numbers. But at the very end is the answer of why he dies.
Of course that gets me the answer, but no wiser:
Could not MAD sync. End of file.
Ok. Huh? Did you try aspirin?
H.
